3. I was sinking deep in sin, Far from the peaceful shore.
Love Lifted Me
#508
I was sinking deep in sin,
Far from the peaceful shore.
Very deeply stained within,
Sinking to rise no more;

4. But the Master of the sea Heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me –
Now safe am I.

5. Love lifted me! Love lifted Me! When nothing else could help

6. Love lifted me! Love lifted Me! When nothing else could help

7. All my heart to Him I give; In His blessed presence live,
Ever to Him I’ll cling,
In His blessed presence live,
Ever His praises sing

8. Love so mighty and so true Merits my soul’s best songs;
Faithful, loving service, too,
To Him belongs.

9. Love lifted me! Love lifted Me! When nothing else could help

10. Love lifted me! Love lifted Me! When nothing else could help

11. Souls in danger, look above; Jesus completely saves;
He will lift you by His love
Out of the angry waves.

12. He’s the Master of the sea, He your Savior wants to be –
Billows His will obey;
He your Savior wants to be –
Be saved today.

13. Love lifted me! Love lifted Me! When nothing else could help

14. Love lifted me! Love lifted Me! When nothing else could help

17. Seeing Beyond the Physical John 4:27-43
Proclaiming God’s word to others can bring great joy
or frustration depending on how the response
Jesus’ ministry in Judea was increasing, but He left for Galilee to avoid antagonizing the Pharisees

18. Seeing Beyond the Physical John 4:27-43
Jesus had to go through Samaria in order to keep a divine appointment with a woman by Jacob’s well

19. The Woman at the Well John 4:1-26
The woman was surprised Jesus asked her for a drink since Jews would not share a cup with a Samaritan
Jesus provoked her curiosity in order to bring up spiritual matters ( John 4:10-14)

20. The Woman at the Well John 4:1-26
Jesus brought up a subject that allowed Him to gently reveal her sin and spiritual need (John 4:16-18)
Perceiving Jesus to be a prophet, she wanted to know the proper place to worship (John 4:19-20)
John 4:21-24, Jesus explained the true nature of worship

21. The Woman at the Well John 4:1-26
Worship must be in spirit and in truth - proper inward motivations must produce proper outward actions
The woman was longing for the coming of Messiah, and Jesus revealed that it was He

22. Surprised Disciples John 4:27
In God’s perfect timing, the disciples return and are surprised Jesus is talking with the woman
Out of respect for Jesus, they do not ask Him or her any questions

23. The Witness of the Woman John 4:28-30
The woman left her jug so that Jesus could drink, and then went back to Sychar to tell people about Jesus
She told them about Jesus’ omniscience, then suggested to them that He was the Messiah
Her report about Jesus compelled the people to go meet Jesus themselves

24. A Lesson for the Disciples John 4:31-34
The disciples are concerned that Jesus should eat since He had been wearied before (vs. 31)
Jesus states He has food they did not know about - which confuses them (vs )

25. A Lesson for the Disciples John 4:31-34
John 4:34 - Doing God’s will is more important than physical food (Job 23:12; Ps 19:7-10;)
The primary purpose of life is fulfilling God’s will - Everything else is secondary (Deut. 8:3; Matt 4:4; 6:33)
God wants you to know and walk in His will - Colossians 1:9; 4:12

26. A Lesson for the Disciples John 4:31-34
Knowing God’s will begins with learning what He has revealed in the Bible - Are you studying it?
Doing God’s will begins with obedience to His word - do you value what God values or the world values?
God’s will is that you walk in holiness - Are you obeying His moral commands?

27. A Lesson for the Disciples John 4:31-34
God has equipped you to serve Him - Is your life progressively becoming more God centered?
Jesus’ food / purpose of life was to do the will of God - what is your food / purpose of life?

28. Seeing the Harvest John 4:35-38
They are in a valley with the fields green with wheat or barley that will be harvested in 4 months
The people coming from Sychar make a sharp contrast in their clothing to the green fields
What Jesus had sown was already brining those ready to be harvested

29. The Harvest John 4:39-43
These Samaritans demonstrated a faith that was lacking in the religious leaders in Jerusalem
Many believed because of the testimony of the woman, many more believed when they heard Jesus

30. The Harvest John 4:39-43
The Jewish religious leaders missed the Messiah they should have been looking for though He was present
If you want to know Jesus and be used of God, then you must be humble and come to Him and obey Him

31. The Harvest John 4:39-43
Jesus stayed with them for two days before continuing on His journey to Galilee (vs. 43)

32. Conclusions
The invitation is open to come meet the Savior of the world & gain everlasting life
Ask the Lord to show you were He wants you serving Him in His harvest

33. Conclusions
You have heard a message of grace and truth – what is your response to it
Will you tell others about Jesus?

35. And can it be that I should gain An interest in the Savior’s blood?

36. Died He for me,
who caused
His pain? For me,
who Him to
death pursued?

37. Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?

38. Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?

39. He left His Father’s
throne above;
So free, so infinite
His grace.

40. Emptied Himself
of all but love,
And bled for
Adam’s helpless race.

41. ‘Tis mercy all,
immense and free,
For, O my God,
it found out me.

42. Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?

43. Long my imprisoned
spirit lay
Fast bound in sin
and natures night;

44. Thine eye diffused
a quickening ray,
I woke, the dungeon
flamed with light.

45. My chains fell off;
my heart was free.
I rose, went forth
and followed Thee.

46. Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?

47. No condemnation
now I dread;
Jesus, and all
in Him is mine!

48. Alive in Him,
my living Head,
And clothed in
righteousness divine;

49. Bold I approached
the eternal throne
And claim the crown,
thro’ Christ my own.

50. Amazing love!
How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?
